Another yellow label - this one brighter than the last. This one fits my cheap accountant image. Priced at $10, I paid $7.50 because it was 26.25% off day at Julios. I stocked up. Riojas are hard to find in this price range. I'll confess there aren't many wines from the tempranillo grape variety that I don't like. Crianza means it aged 2 years - and had at least 6 months on oak. Like the Chianti Classico from the last post, the oak worked on this one - while the oak crowds out some of the fruit flavor - the wine has a good balance and is smooth. Remember - look for the yellow label in the Spanish aisle!
